Hi Rob,

No, that pic was taken in the Ochoco National Forest in Oregon off of Hwy 26. I was enroute to the Painted Hills Nat'l Monument at the time - probably about 20 miles west of Mitchell would be my guess. I can't remember the exact road and this was before I had GPS so no track to refer back to (life was hard before GPS!)
